Why AMEE MedEdPublish

The number of papers published in medical and health professions education has increased at a higher rate than in any other field in medicine.

Teachers and others involved in health professions education are expected to publish regularly in order to demonstrate scholarship.

As a result, journals such as Medical Teacher receive many more articles than it is possible to publish, and many well-written, methodologically sound papers cannot be published due to space constraints.

Concern has also been expressed about potential censorship by journal editors and reviewers, and it has been suggested that readers as well as experts should have the opportunity to read and decide on the merits and utility of work produced by their peers.
